Dads Semi Homemade Chicken Alfredo Food

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

DAD'S SEMI-HOMEMADE CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Put on water for pasta to boil first. When I'm cooking for company, I like to use different shaped pasta; it's a bit more festive. Anything you like works well.
• Cut chicken breasts into small, bite-size pieces, and season chicken breast with season salt, lemon pepper, and garlic salt. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken breast pieces and let them cook until white on both sides.
• Turn down to medium low, add teriayki sauce (I like to use the glaze/marinade, because it's a little thicker) and let chicken finish cooking while the teriayki is absorbed.
• Turn down to low, add the alfredo sauce and stir well to mix everything. Allow it to simmer until the pasta is ready. Drain the water from the pasta and add chicken and sauce mixture. Toss and mix well. Serve.

CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the chicken thighs and fry for around 10 mins, turning half way, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool a little, then use two forks to shred.
• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the pasta, cook for 1 minute less that package instructions. Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the butter to the frying pan over a medium heat, scraping the bottom a little to get any of the browned bits. Tip in the cream along with the nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan.
• Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan with the cream mixture. Sprinkle most of the parmesan over and use the tongs to toss it all together, adding a splash of the pasta water if it looks a little stiff. Season well, then tip into bowls. Top with the remaining parmesan, a scattering of parsley, and black pepper.
